Ripple in Progress-Fiddler Crab

Here's a peek at some brainstorming I did for the Ripple Project. As you can see, I write as much as I draw when I'm hammering out ideas for a project. I'm very much a list person, they make me happy. ;)

You can see I start out with fairly realistic sketches. I usually do when I'm referencing a real creature. This time around I think I'd like my Ripple cards to be lighthearted, so they'll be transformed into my usual cartoon style once I have their personalities figured out a little more.

That's exactly what I do when drawing animals, I like to start out with reference and develop the character from there. I love seeing that process in your sketches here. And writing out lists for sure! Brainstorms are about lists too! I can't wait to see this guy all painted up. He's definitely talking to us :o)

Sketches always seem so alive. No matter how beautiful the finish -the sketch is the spark of life in the work. Artists thrill to see each others' process. Here we want to share our own sketches and our love of the art of the sketch with you.
